Customer Reviews of Schiff MegaRed Omega-3 Krill Oil 300 mg - 90 Softgels
Customer Review: Stronger fishy smell than Source Naturals NKO brand.
Summary: 1 Stars
I had previously tried the Source Naturals NKO brand. This sells for about 22.40 for 60 capsules (500 Mg). I decided to try the MegaRed brand. At 90 capsules for about 21.00 (300 Mg), it was roughly the same cost per mg.
I didn't realize at first though that the dosage levels were different. This was my mistake.
The MegaRed capsules are definitely smaller - to be expected. Since I take 3 daily NKO capsules (1500 mg), I have to take 5 MegaReds to get a comparable dose.
My real complaint is that I'm met with a strong fishy smell from the MegaRed bottle whenever I open it. I don't notice the same problem with my NKO brand.
After I finish the MegaRed order, I will return to the Source Naturals NKO brand.
Customer Review: Disappointed with ingredients...
Summary: 1 Stars
I was delighted when I received the Costco flyer showing that they now offered the krill MegaRed. I'd been buying for some time, on an automatic shipment basis, Nordic Krill from Amazon. The price seemed excellent at $20.77 per month for 60 capsules (I take two a day). The MegaReds were listed as 90 capsules for about the same amount of money. However, when I looked at the ingredients and saw sorbitol listed, that was the end of MegaRed.
Even if the amount of sorbitol in each capsule is minute, I still reject ingesting sorbitol in any form. So, I guess it's back to Nordic Krill capsules from Amazon. Or perhaps the wild salmon I eat every day is actually sufficient and I don't really need to take a supplement.
Customer Review: Contains Sorbitol!
Summary: 1 Stars
For those who are effected by the sugar substitute, sorbitol, please notice that MegaRed contains enough to cause very unpleasant or harmful side effects!
